Find out in this report how the two Cloud Monitoring Software solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."We can manage the entire system across the network and troubleshoot the pain points."
"Another division handed us the opportunity to monitor their solutions as written, and UIM was very useful for that."
"Easy admin functionality. You can quickly do all the admin functionality without reducing cycles."
"It gives us visibility inside applications. It helps us to dig down and find the root cause of any issue within the network."
"MultiWAN and Balance service"
"Latest version of tool comes integrated with Jaspersoft reporting solution, giving excellent reports."
"Great out-of-the-box capability."
"This solution allows us to have an overview of the infrastructure and identify areas where the performance isn't optimal, or where upgrades could be carried out."
"I can use the Drag and Drop feature to build dashboards within minutes."
"The most valuable features in SolarWinds NPM are the network search and diagnostic tools."
"The solution is easy to install and it takes a couple of hours."
"There are a lot of valuable features with SolarWinds NPM. We can receive a lot of detailed data from the monitoring that can use useful for investigations, especially when you are troubleshooting. It is very helpful. Overall it was a very good experience."
"The solution is very user-friendly."
"The initial setup is easy."
"SolarWinds' network and server application monitoring features are strong."
"The connectivity of the solution is very good."
"Technical support is very helpful with our upgrades."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"Currently lacks a mobile application which would be helpful."
"Within this product there are individual probes, and each of these probes doesn't always necessarily output the same kind of information into our database. So when we try to collect what's called QoS data, from one probe we might get a ton of information, lots of good stuff that we can use in our database, but then from another probe, we might not get so much or we might not be able to pull the things that we want to."
"There is also room for improvement in the reporting. It is not really good enough, according to our customers. So what we now usually do is use Power BI to get them the kinds of reports they want."
"We want to see more investment in the UI and the dashboard."
"I would like to see auditability. We've built our own audit functionality to ensure that every CI has the desired model configuration applied to it. And we run that on a daily basis. If that became part of the product, I think it might be a little bit less intensive in terms of resource, because we're doing it with scripts."
"Reporting capability can be improved especially when it comes to availability."
"How we can get more native information from CA's solutions."
"I think it can be improved by a greater provision of specialized technical support, as there are very few trained personnel there."
"There isn't support available to us as they don't offer support in our country."
"The dashboard of the solution is an area with certain shortcomings that need improvement."
"The reporting module that got integrated into the system itself, used to be a standalone solution and I preferred that."
"The only thing that can be improved is to continually add to the existing capabilities of the product."
"The integration with video apps could be better."
"SolarWinds needs to be improved such that it is on par with the leading products in the market."
"The root cause analysis and installation faults are not clear."
"The improvement would be that SolarWinds NPM thoroughly checks its patches before releasing them to the market. Better testing, alpha testing, and then releasing it to the market."
